My Project

My students are truly the heart of our classroom. Their boundless curiosity fuels our explorations, their tenacious spirit helps them overcome challenges, and their vibrant creativity constantly inspires me. Even on difficult days, their resilience shines brightly, and their genuine kindness towards one another creates a warm and supportive environment. Their unique perspectives and energetic engagement make teaching an absolute joy, and I wholeheartedly believe in their incredible potential to achieve great things.

Each resource in this project is chosen with their growth and learning in mind.

Post-it notes will foster active participation and organization, while chair leg protectors will create a calmer learning space. Duct and painter's tape will enable hands-on creativity and problem-solving.

The graduation gifts will celebrate their hard work and motivate their next steps. Sharpies will empower clear visual expression, and the boxing bag will provide a valuable outlet for physical activity and emotional well-being, ultimately contributing to their focus, self-control, and overall capacity for learning and growth.
